The difficulties of having to queue and sleep on the street side without any roof above their head did not deter the people’s will to find a viewing place for the Royal Cremation Ceremony. They waited patiently at all nine screening points around Sanam Luang which opened to the public at 5am on Wednesday. The queue was over one kilometre long from under the bridge, down along Phra Arthit Road to Bang Lamphu Intersection. Before passing through the screening point, people are required to show their identification cards and have their baggage checked by security officers. Officers are on standby to advise people how to get to the closet screening point.
